None of the old albums from the old forum software exist any more although photos from them are still within posts.

Hi, you may, or may-not find something in ME # Albums. It may take you a bit of searching, but I have found many of mine there.

Regards Nick.

Thanks, Nicholas Farr, for that link.  I simply did a Google site search using my surname as the search term and, voilà, up came my old albums in a single keystroke.  Now all I’ve go to do is download all the pages!  (There’s a LOT of them.) Unless anyone has a link to that batch code that Dave (SOD) referred to?

P.S.  I’ve bookmarked the Album for future reference!

Nick,

I’m only too pleased to thank Peak4 for the link.  I’ve started downloading the photos one by one into fresh folders on the main computer. It’s terribly laborious but as I’m not able to work in the workshop at the moment due to painful joints, a little light keyboard bashing fills the time. One soon gets into swing of the procedure.

Thread drift over …….

Colin,

I’m afraid that I can’t speak for the Model Boats site, but if you access it the same way as for the Model Engineer “old” site, (as discussed above), and then left-click on “View the Album”,this will bring up the photos in that particular album.  Left-click on a thumbnail and you’ll get to a page similar to this:

Click on the “Show full size” (red arrow) and that will display the origin photo at a larger size.  Right-click on that and “Save As” what you want to call it in a suitable folder.  Rinse and repeat as often as required.  At least, that’s how it works for me on the ME site.

It’s not just you or MB Colin. If I do a sabove I may get some images shown as thumbnails and if I then click on one of those I can’t get anything else.

Hi, unfortunately not all the photos seem to be saved. When you come across an album with your name beside it, click on your name, and it will come up with your profile, and below the green bar it should show how many photos you had in all your albums, and clicking on that, will bring up all the albums you had, but some will look like the one that JasonB has shown above, and while many of them may have blank white squares, but if your lucky, clicking on those blue titles may open up the photo, and some or all will just give you a white screen, with or without the title of the photo, or the not available notice. I’ve even had at least one blank album that then revels all the photos one I clicked on one or two of those blue titles. It’s all a bit of pot luck though.

Regards Nick.

Well, I must be one of the lucky ones! I’m into the second hour of downloading my album photos and no sign of blank squares.  Perhaps I should take a break and go out and buy a lottery ticket.
